Probably: grading 📝, absorbing 📰 , 🏋️‍♂️ too much weight, slingin' 📦, losing on the 📈, watching 🏀, or wishing I hadn't made that end-game ♟️ move.

I maintain that this was the worse decision the Jackson campaign made. #Election2026
I am wondering who on the Rick Jackson campaign team told him being represented by an empty lectern and letting your Democratic opponent be your messenger are good ideas. #Election2026

.@NYTimes is putting Dems' House-control chance at 93% and Senate at 74%. #Election2026

Trump then texted @greggutfeld: "Tell Tarlov – who is the WORST – gas prices are lower than they were for Biden and Obama, and they allowed Iran to have the nuclear bomb," and the text went on from there. Gutfeld read it on air...
Trump is watching Fox's election night pregame show and complaining about the lone liberal: "I can't stand Jessica Tarlov's voice — DUMB AS A ROCK, but it's the voice that gets me. Have to go somewhere else until that LOSER is off the air — I'll be back later!"

The results in Maine's Senate race between GOP Sen. Susan Collins and Democratic challenger Troy Jackson may take time because the contest is subject to ranked-choice voting, with a half-dozen other contenders also qualifying to formally run as write-ins. on.wsj.com/4sEEnY7

President Trump on U.S. aid to Israel: "We were giving them $4 billion. We are. But it gets cut off at the end of the year. Why? Because they don't need it. "Why should we suffer the slings from lunatics like El-Sayed when they don't need it? It's a bad talking point."

WSJ editorial board weighs in on the court throwing out Trump's lawsuit against the paper: "He failed in this case because the Journal didn’t roll over. A free press requires owners who back editors, and we couldn’t do what we do without that support." wsj.com/opinion/trumps-faile…

Too funny, but it has to be a fine, right? Draymond wouldn't be allowed to do it. #NBA
Imagine Bron taking a sip of your drink mid-game 🤣

Tonight's person-on-the-street interviews on #Kimmel are showing our country at a new low: our inability to tell time on an analog clock.

I have tried many, many times over the years to give @FoxNews a chance, but within any five-minute period of me tuning in, it quickly devolves into a caricature of itself.
A highly contentious midterm election is contributing to higher ratings for many news brands. But not at the Fox News Channel. cnn.it/4BCKHmU

I wish the #Pacers could hire Mikal Bridges as a how-to-play-more-games consultant.

Here’s a story for you. We started filming without owning the title and had to do alternates. Taft Broadcasting owned the title Ghostbusters as part of their half-hour sitcom starring Larry Storch and Forrest Tucker (F-Troop) and a gorilla chasing ghosts. I had never heard of it. They didn’t have proton packs or Bill Murray. Columbia paid $500,000 to buy the name, but they really should have paid Dean Martin, from whom I first heard the term. In the film Scared Stiff (1953), he and Jerry Lewis (check out his acrobatic stair descent) are in an old haunted castle, and Lizabeth Scott asks Dean: “Who are you guys?” And Dean answers: “You’ve heard of Trustbusters and Gangbusters, we’re Ghostbusters!” For my research writing the first movie, I watched every single ‘ghost’ comedy ever made. Bowery Boys, Hope and Crosby, Abbot and Costello, Martin and Lewis all did such films. Happy Halloween 2026.
